PraatVSCode

Praat is an open source program/programming language for doing phonetics by computer. It's really good at what it does and it's quite fast. However, its barebones native editor and somewhat unusual syntax can present challenges, especially to new users. To address these shortcomings of a piece of software most colleagues will use at some point, I started developing a Visual Studio Code extension that would provide a lot of functional and stylistic improvements to the Praat scripting experience by offering users a significantly improved development environment. PraatVSCode is open-source and free (obviously). An up-to-date list of features and more information can be found in the GitHub repository or the VSCode extension marketplace page linked below. As of August 2023, PraatVSCode is also available on VSIX, the open-source alternative to Microsoft's extension marketplace for Visual Studio Code.
